I’m glad I went there in August…

It got down to minus-22 last weekend in Duluth, Minnesota, so I’m glad that I’m spending this January editing tapes of my much more temperate overnight stay there last summer. (That said, if I had the chance, I’d still go back up there, even in winter, just to grab the handful of legals that somehow eluded me. Obsession knows no temperature limits.)

For your enjoyment, then, we offer a nearly-complete set of legals from the new-to-toppy market of Duluth and neighboring Superior, Wisconsin, where the K/W line is blurred into invisibility. Among the highlights: WWJC 850 signing on and off for the day, a rare LPFM legal, and the oddness that is KZIO (whose primary signal on 104.3 doesn’t hit Duluth, which is served by the translator on 94.1 instead). And for lack of any better place to stick them, we’ve got a few IDs from the Pine City area, halfway up I-35 between the Twin Cities and Duluth, too.

And as part of our ongoing crossover with my own site, don’t forget to check out the Tower Site of the Week entry depicting some of the nifty towers of the Twin Ports area. Next week – Virginia/Eveleth and International Falls!

Send me the plane ticket and some bucks for a hotel room and I’m there!

Seriously, though, I do all this traveling on my own dime and as my schedule permits, and I don’t see Abilene making its way to my schedule any time soon. There are entire states I’ve still never been to (Arkansas, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, New Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii), and others where I’ve never done radio stuff (Florida, particularly) and I want to get to those first. And even within Texas, I’m more interested, for the moment, in seeing Austin, San Antonio and Houston before I make it to Abilene.
